Groundstar Resources Limited Announce Acquisition






CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Nov. 22, 2012) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE U.S.A.

The board of directors of Groundstar Resources Limited (TSX VENTURE:GSA) ("Groundstar" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has entered into agreements whereby it will acquire an aggregate 50% working interest in heavy oil assets, which includes the acquisition of a 25% working interest in the assets pursuant to the Acquisition described below. Groundstar expects to drill and complete vertical test well(s) in the Willingdon area of Alberta to confirm productivity and establish a medium and heavy oil resource play. Core, log and oil analysis demonstrates a 35 meter thick, 18-20° API oil column with excellent reservoir quality which the Company believes will allow for primary, cold flow production. Proprietary 3D seismic covering three sections (1,920 acres) delineates the initial well(s) and confirms up to 30 additional drilling locations. An independent engineering assessment dated November 1, 2012 has assigned gross Prospective Resource estimates for three of the sections at 3.1 million barrels Best Estimate, 930,000 barrels Low Estimate and 9.3 million barrels High Estimate.1 The independent assessment indicates the total reef to have a gross Prospective Resource estimate of 11 million barrels Best Estimate, 3.3 million barrels Low Estimate and 33.2 million barrels High Estimate.1 Under the terms of the agreements, upon having completed its earning obligations with respect to the test well, the Company will have a 50% working interest option on fifteen sections.

Key Attributes and Highlights to the Company:

Emerging Medium and Heavy Oil Resource Exposure: 69.0 million barrels net Undiscovered PIIP, Best Estimate1

Prospective Resources: Leduc 18-20° API oil 11.0 million barrels gross (5.5 million barrels net, Best Estimate)(1)


Current Development Inventory: 30 gross, 15 net locations

Seismic: 4.8 square km (1,920 acres) of 3D seismic and 30km 2D seismic 2

Land: 18 sections gross or 11,520 gross acres (5,760 net), 4.5 sections unbooked 3

Pro Forma Shares Outstanding: 7.5 million (basic), 7.8 million (fully‐diluted)

Tax Pools: $30.3 million

(1) Chapman Petroleum Engineering Ltd. ("Chapman") independent NI -51-101 assessment, effective November 1, 2012.

(2) Total gross seismic cost of $400,000.

(3) Based on the respective independent land reports effective November 1, 2012, prepared by Independent Land Evaluations Inc. in accordance with NI 51-101 5.9 (1) (e) for total net land value of $620,480.

In connection with the execution of the agreements, Groundstar is pleased to announce that it has entered into an assignment agreement with a private Alberta company ("First Oil") to acquire its 25% working interest in the Willingdon assets held by First Oil for consideration consisting of 1.6 million shares of the Company (the "Acquisition"). Certain of the directors of the Company are shareholders of First Oil, such that the transaction may be considered to be a non-arm's length transaction pursuant to the applicable policies of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"). In particular, two directors of Groundstar hold shares in First Oil, which does not represent a controlling position, and they will indirectly control an aggregate of 150,000 shares of the Company following the Acquisition. The aforementioned Acquisition and the issuance of the shares of the Company as payment therefore are subject to the approval of the TSXV. Upon completion of the acquisitions and provided that the interest is earned in accordance with the agreements, the Company will have a 50% working interest in the Willingdon assets.

Thanks. I'm in VST and only followed GSA for the connection. Didn't know the consolidation was due (suppose I should have checked the news history...)

rhubarbe - yes, eh?!

Is this rise linked to GSA in Kurdistan or their operations elsewhere?

There is nothing to be found on the web. Nowt.

So GSA want out of kurdistan:

From SEDAR:

MD&A regarding KRG:
"In July 2012, the Corporation decided to dispose of its interest
in the Qara-Dagh Block. Management estimates that the recoverable value will be approximately
$1.4 million to $1.6 million. Based on this estimate, Groundstar will record an impairment provision
in Q1 2013 so the carrying value equals the recoverable value. However, the final recoverable
value and resulting impairment provision may be materially different from these estimates, as the
terms of the disposition have not been approved or finalized by all parties."
Interesting.

Guyana's energy sector: Prospects and pitfalls

Last Monday's discourses between some of the country's business and political leaders and senior representatives of Canada's Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board (C-NLOB) may well have attracted a great deal less public attention than merited on account of the understandable preoccupation with next Monday's general elections. Nevertheless, when the focus of the engagement titled "preparing for offshore energy resources – the Atlantic Canada Experience" is examined, it becomes clear that it marked clear signs of a process of preparedness for a new and particularly significant chapter in Guyana's economic history.

The Canadian visitors are among the very top officials of an important oversight and regulatory body in Canada's oil and natural gas sector and their visit here sends perhaps the clearest signal yet that Guyana is currently in the throes of becoming an energy producer with all of the implications of realizing such an important economic milestone.

What the visitors sought to do was to offer Guyana expert guidance on the process of preparing for an oil economy, which, according to Canada's High Commis-sioner to Guyana David Devine, Guyana is one the verge of becoming. According to High Commissioner Devine "the vast reserves of hydrocarbons present in Guyana's offshore (areas) represent the promise of a better future for all Guyanese."At the same time he alluded to the importance of taking the correct steps to "prepare for the benefits this bonanza will bring that will be shared by all sectors of society".

The prospects are, to say the least, exciting. Guyana's potential as a producer of oil and natural gas has been alluded to by respective governments as far back as the 1970s and the frustration of an economy that has proceeded in fits and starts over that period renders the prospects of large-scale oil exploration in Guyana all the more exciting. Certainly, we can anticipate significant increases in revenue that will provide funding for social and infrastructural development projects, education, health services and job creation. We can also look forward to the development of new skills associated with both the energy sector itself and with the various downstream industries. The energy sector will also provide more than enough revenue to invest in the necessary training for the range of skills that will be required in areas such as maintenance of oil extraction rigs and machinery and other specialized communication and other equipment associated with the industry.

If all this might seem more than a little intoxicating, High Commissioner Devine issues a caution which, in our particular circumstances, we would well to be mindful of. Sudden and significant increases in countries' earnings have not always boded well for their development. Indeed, as the High Commissioner put it, "too many times citizens have seen their hopes of a better life go unrealized."

In his own contribution to the forum Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, feeling perhaps less fettered by the constraints of diplomacy than the Canadian envoy was less succinct in outlining the consequences of failure to create regulatory frameworks for managing a potentially lucrative energy sector. He referred to unnamed countries where such failure had led to the creation of an environment that facilitated rampant graft and corruption. Examples of such practices have been well-documented in several countries including Nigeria, Mexico, Russia and Azerbaijan and in each of those countries abundant oil wealth has not done anywhere near as much as it can for raising the standard of living and eradicating poverty.

Even without the benefit of an energy sector Guyana is no stranger to graft and corruption and it is by no means inconceivable that in the absence of the regulatory measures to which both the Canadian High Commissioner and the Prime Minister alluded, Guyana can become swallowed up in an even deeper quagmire of corruption that could witness the failure to deploy the resources from the energy sector to other deserving areas of national life. There is, too, the danger that an oil-rich Guyana can become afflicted by what is known as the "Dutch disease," a phenomenon that describes the decline in the manufacturing, agricultural and other sectors once oil wealth begins to kick in.

As yet, at least as far as we are aware, there is little work being done to create the regimen of regulations that will protect us against the pitfalls that could derive from becoming an oil-producing nation. Apart from the considerations associated with protecting the returns of the industry from what so often appears to be profligate and unaccounted for public spending, there are also considerations that have to do with protecting the environment and ensuring the safety and health of the people who will have to work in the sector. The privilege of being an oil-producing nation brings with it both power and responsibility and last Monday's forum provided a timely and, in Guyana's particular circumstances, relevant reminder.

Not a problem thelung, happy to help. I agree, but it did seem that the Egypt spud acted as some sort of catalyst in sparking the share price into life. At least we can be thankful that Egypt is no Libya, not just for the share price but the people too.

I hope so Pana... although I can wait 45-50 days for the real fireworks to start!

I've just worked out (using my NAV) for the the 3 wells which are drilling (not including the larger prospects drilling next in both Guyana and Egypt and QD upside from the the CPR figure and the Teriary 64m net pay in QD) that we have an unrisked potential share price of $4.60 and a risked price of $1.53. Success on anyone of the 3 drills should underpin the share price at a price higher then todays, ready for drilling the other prospects.

So 50c - 60c pre results isn't too unrealistic if you ask me! :)

Edit: Forgot to add that we now know prospect B will be the 2nd prospect drilled in Egypt, this is the biggest of all the prospects on this license and could be worth around $2.60 unrisked, based on the P50 potential figures.

Spnk, I can totally understand why you have done that, although I still have the opinion that the better value is still here. Here's why...

The risked value (My calculations, it serves me no purpose as an investor to be biased though, so they are pretty accurate) of GSA in total (all assets) is 748.76%, while the risked value of the 3 prospects they are / will be drilling in the very short term is 329.11%, at the current share price. The risked value of VST at it's current share price is 216.13%.

However, if you believe that VST will prove QD to be much bigger (on this drill alone) then the CPR has stated, then VST's risk value will slowly catch GSA's. So if you believe VST and GSA will prove QD to be 7bn OIP from the Cretaceous and 3bn OIP from the Tertiary then VST have a risked value of 533.46% and GSA have a risked value of 526.35%.

Hope this helps people understand the differences between the two investments and as ever, it's your own perception to which is the 'better' investment.

Good luck all.

Below are some of my views using figures on both GSA and VST.

In my opinion the Egypt news is good for GSA shareholders. It should mean less dilution of the share capital is necessary in the near future as GSA will have enough money to pay for 3 wells on Qara Dagh (estimated cost of $2.47m per well for GSA) and general overhead costs of the business for the short to medium term.

I have had to change my spreadsheet in regards to today's news but the figures below don't fully appreciate how today's news lowers the overall risk of the company while increasing the possible short term wealth maximisation for the shareholders, as we will have more of QD per share, as less shares will be in issue by the time of sale, then I previously thought would be the case, as I assumed we would need to pay for costs at WKO (which we now don't have short term) and to pay for QD cost's during and after the first well).


My NAV for QD is based on the following variables: - 6% of QD, 2742mmbl OIP, 20% recovery rate, $6 NPV per net barrel at $70 oil (this is assumed as the Kurdistan PSC standard by the Daniel Stewart note for GKP), a 40% CoS (for the risked valuation), US$ - CAD$ rate of 0.97 and the number of shares in issue at 74.5m.

The risked figure is $0.98 for QD alone. This gives a potential risked upside of 113.48% on the current share price of $0.46 and a discount of 53.16% on the risked NAV for QD alone.

The un-risked figure is $2.46 for QD. This gives a potential un-risked upside of 433.71% on the current share price and assuming the variables above are played out i.e. if OIP is 4000m and RC is 25%, a much higher share price should be achieved and vice versa.


My NAV for the whole of GSA is based on the above variables for QD and the best estimate recoverable figures for WKO and Takutu. The Karanambo prospect in Guyana, being de-risked due to the previous oil find, has a 40% CoS, while the other Guyana prospects have a 7.5% CoS. I have given the WBO block prospect a 5% CoS. It also includes $11m cash, worth $0.15 to the share price

The overall GSA risked valuation figure is $1.89. This gives a potential risked upside of 311.25% on the current share price of $0.46 and a discount of 75.68% on the risked NAV.

The un-risked figure is a whopping $10.90. This gives a potential un-risked upside of 2270.31% on the current share price of $0.46.




In comparison, my NAV for Vast (and hence Vast's share of QD) has the same variables as GSA apart from 37% in QD and a fully diluted shares in issue of 292m (this means Vast should be well funded for the possible 3 wells on QD and wouldn't require too much further fundraising).

The risked figure is $1.54 for QD. This gives a potential risked upside of 81.72% on the current share price of $0.85 and a discount of 44.97% on the risked NAV.(This figure is without the company's cash balance included, so is purely based on QD. With the fully diluted shares in issue, I assume $52m as the cash balance, worth an extra $0.18 on top of this figure).

The un-risked figure is $3.86 for QD. This gives a potential un-risked upside of 354.31% on the current share price




In conclusion, it currently looks like at the moment GSA is better value for exposure to the QD block as it offers a higher risked and un-risked upside percentage and also has the hedge of its now carried 10% interests in both Egypt and Guyana and is well funded for the short to medium term. Of course these figures are just my own, you may wish to use different variables as you see fit and I'm sure you won't agree with some of my predictions i.e. $6 NPV in Kurdistan for example, but then again the RF could be 30-50% not 20% and we all know the OIP has a lot of scope for revision to the upside e.g. if the OIP turns about to be 5000mmbl (very plausible saying the anticline is a huge 390km2, 3 times bigger than Miran west, which has OIP of around 2300 to 4200mmbl), using the same variables I've used above, Vast would offer 728.42% un-risked upside and GSA would have potential for a 873.22% increase based on QD. Hope this is useful for both VST and GSA holders, I assume we are mainly one and the same!

P.S. I hold both VST and GSA, with a ratio of around 2.5 to 1 in Vast's favour.
